Welcome to a "sneak peek" article from the April edition of the ElectroBytes from GlobalSpec.
Did you know? Eighty years before Edison's incandescent light was seen, the arc light was created by passing an electric current through a platinum strip. One of the first electric computers was developed in 1920s by Vannevar Bush. Bush's early work led to the dedication of his huge Rockefeller Differential Analyzer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1942, a 100-ton machine with 2,000 vacuum tubes and 150 motors. These and other stories of ingenuity can even reviewed and downloaded as media files or as Podcasts from The Engines of Our Ingenuity radio show.
